To be honest, when I first heard about Cleansing Water I was a little sceptical - being essentially just water and having no scent. So as soon as it came in the mail, I was determined to try it. I put on some heavy eye liner, and as directed wiped my eyes with it. To be honest, I couldn't believe my eyes (literally); the eyeliner came of in just a few soft wipes. So, so far so good.
The next test was the next night after I had gone out with a full face of Make-up. I was excited to really give this cleanser a real go, and I was not disappointed. Other make-up removers I have used left my face, particularly eyes, greasy and shiny, red from rubbing and sore (particularly if some had gotten into my eyes accidentally). But this cleansing water was the complete opposite. My face and eyes felt fresh and as though I hadn't really even had make up on. There was no red-ness or grease, and it felt fantastic! I was able to take off all of my eye makeup and foundation etc so easily and I couldn't believe how fast it was either.
I also found it great to fix little mistakes when applying eye makeup. By putting a little on a cotton tip and dabbing the particular area of my eye, it easily removed the unwanted eyeliner, without really disturbing my eye shadow and getting all greasy - like what I had experienced in the past - and in turn ruining that whole eye's make up. With this I was able to fix the little mistakes without a hitch which was fantastic!
I love the fact that it natural and feels great on your skin - no smelly chemicals.
The easy-to-pour bottle is great, and it's awesome how you can simply pop it into your overnight bag if need be.
I will definitely continue to use this! Thanks Beauty Review for introducing me to this amazing new product! I will most definitely buy a new bottle once this has run out.
I had been wanting to try this product for a while so when i got the opportunity to trial it i jumped at the chance.
Lets start off with packaging: i like the packaging, it comes in a clear plastic bottle, great for seeing how much product is left, and it has a flap lid that you push open. this packaging works very well and the sizing is very generous at 400ml. This will last for quite a long time. the only thing that i don't like about the packaging is that when you open the small cap there is a hole where the product comes out but it comes out incredibly fast! i always end up using more on the cotton pad than i mean to!
Now the contents of the bottle: when you first open the bottle you notice that it doesn't really have a smell like most similar products, so is ideal for sensitive skin. it is a completely clear product as you would expect and has the same consistency as water so very runny. i have found that it is best to get a small cotton pad, place it over the opening and squeeze slightly trying not to release too much product, then i run the cottonpad all over my face after i have cleansed. This removes any leftover foundation or eye makeup. This product works incredibly well, i have to say that it has now replaced all of the toners that i used to use. I have also found that it has replaced my mac cleanse off oil which is a product that you use directly on makeup to remove it before cleansing. if i am wearing a very stubborn foundation such as estee lauder double wear which i would normally use the cleanse off oil on top of to remove, i have found that by using this product and a cotton pad does the same job!! for a lot less money. so really there are 2 different ways to use it, before cleansing or after cleansing, depending on the stay power of the foundation.
All in all i will definitely be purchasing this again, the only thing that i didn't really like was that it is easy to accidentally use too much product, but for the price of the product it is worth it. Worth a try i would say!
